About the author
Born in Paris on May 13, 1892, Frédéric Causse wrote under a range of pen names, including Fred Maël, Fred Causse-Maël, and most famously Jean d'Agraives. French library and reference sources identify him as both a novelist and a translator, showing how comfortably he moved between creating his own stories and bringing other authors into French.
He is especially remembered for adventure fiction and for books connected with popular youth publishing in France. Bibliographic records also show a long list of works and reprints, which suggests that his stories found a steady audience over many years.
Causse died in Paris on October 21, 1951. I couldn't confirm a suitable real portrait image from reliable page images during this search, so no profile image is included here.
